Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber Across the night I fell in love with people sleeping And hugged a man's arthritic shoulder I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination I don't mean to make you cry But this feeling will run right through the night And I'll only make you cry with these feelings Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me So let us be married and have another baby Coz I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone Yes let's just get married shouting baby, baby, babies "You'll never sleep at all" But I don't wanna be lonely Never seen the sunshine From higher points than sunrise |

Youre the analyst
The fungus in my milk When you want no one And you've got someone Through the wind you crawl And laugh at burning dunes When no one else will ever see Now that you know why you feel like you do Their turning their head Whilst they wait for no one And finally i know Why you feel like letting go Im watching you watch over me and i've got the greatest view from here im watching you watch over me and i've got the greatest view from here copyright 2001 Daniel Johns mistakes dont mean a thing if you dont regret them so pack your tactic toes for the winter chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin no one else will ever see Im watching you watch over me and i've got the greatest view from here im watching you watch over me and i've got the greatest view from here Now that you know why you feel like you do They're turning their head whilst they wait For no one And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go I'm watching you watch Over me and I've got The greatest view from here I'm watching you watch Over me and I've got The greatest view from here The greatest view from here The greatest view |

Miles away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine And I need for you to come and go Without the truth falling out Old incisions refusing to stay Like through the trees on a cloudy day Telephone Socially scared and impaired If the trees will bloom the wind can blow Without the fruit falling out Feels like the wind blows Holding you with us She takes no other Falls light and ashes Blooming like winter Dry eyes and cracked lips Under the stone wall Withdrawn and wishless And you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat But it melts in the sun like a life without love And I've waited for you so i'll keep crying out Without you |

All the bridges in the world
Won't save you If there is no other side To cross to When you're world's not feeling ugly And the world's not too much Take the world upon your shoulders And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn Half full glasses Lost in empty houses Violent, big and violent Like a thing that's big, big And violent |

Let my spirit ride on a one way mule
Blistered skin in a cold hearted pool Distant emotion hides a concrete wall Naked and anchored I'll climb right back To you Love me for my mind, coz I'm a dangerous heart When I've got time to kill I'm coming back for you I'll stake out just to find The knife in a dangerous heart When I've got time to kill I'm coming back for you Distant memories in a cage by my bed Viscid dreams stick to holes in my head But a patient career of sleep in a Sunday dress Rides my wake |

I fondle keys to my heart when everyone's heart
Seems so calm And you found the lock To my dorm and opened the door to my trust Fund my vestry The light in my darkest hour is fear Denies me of anything good sooo Don't lsoe your heart you'll need it You'll have to take another pill and tell another lie And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine Take everything that you're not and don't be so Scared to tamper (temper) with (temper) "tampered with" evidence (tamper) Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all To lose your heart you'll have to teake, take and take Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem Closer to everything Closer now than we ever have been We're closer now that we ever should (we) be Closer now than we've ever been before Closer to everything Busking for change and changing everything Feeble fables aren't changing many things It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything To all of the animals who keep sipping the sweat From my back, You're making me ill And I can't get enough So take another pill and tell another lie And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine |

She tripped on a hole
that I dug in the soil to be hard I'm a human garden I couldn't stand in the straight postured sun But you stood in the mud But you came outside when I came along, When I came along, when I came along So you never stopped needing, You never stopped needing I'll close up with someone so close Too much of not enough A close look at someone so close Too much of not enough All we need is just a taste I strap myself in for a safe second ride Before we're starting the train To be anything I saw fit And it all seems to fail But you came undone when I came along When I came along, when I came along So you never stopped needing, You never stopped needing I'll close up with someone so close Too much of not enough A close look at someone so close Too much of not enough All we need is just a taste And I walk by and share our truth Broken stakes and stolen youth I've seen too much I'm not enough You've came much closer than this hell before You never stopped needing, You never stopped needing, You never stopped needing, And it's good for nothing |

Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate execute ill memories Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave And too much truth overshadows the lime lies And what lies beneath the clouds is an Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity But sanity don't come cheap You don't know the truth and I love your life Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be Where I'm content to be to be all by myself But frozen eyes are bound to melt |

Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak? And I'd catch you when you fall But you're falling all the time Do you need it anymore? Or do you need a little more? Living your life like you're bull in the trade He doesn't know how it feels Under my thumb like a bone under nail She's in the know, how's it feel? Live your life under machine guns Canary down the mine Maybe I'm on the lever Spoiling my broth like a radio kid Programmed computerised mind Waving my luck under your nose Like I found a four leaf clover |

Got my fever down, then weighed it up, and know the
Sounds remaining won't strain all the silt from my eyes Bleach the green from the pastures, feast on the grey Of the night, straight from the vines refusal to shine You're my favourite thing - the one that I love You're the one so I'd die for your love Blind the deafened moon, stimulate the tombs of angels I'll open my heart won't fall apart Don't fall apart You're my favourite thing And I feel like letting go |

Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise Born again the day Brings you naivety A laptop souvenir is worth its weight In silver a golden son You'll be home again And I'll be home again Mend in my sleep I'm boxing under water Waddle on the wake Waking on a summer day After all these years Forget about all the troubled times Munificent, artless and ascetic Playing like a scared Enthusiastic pawn And every father's pain Casts a shadow over a broken son You'll be whole again And I'll be whole again All those years I was hurting to feel Something more than life |
